Commit 1c1518071c (submodule: use "fetch" logic instead of custom remote
discovery, 2020-11-14) rewrote the logic in fetch_in_submodule to do:
elif test "$2" -ne ""
But this is nonsense in shell: -ne is for numeric comparisons. This
should be "=" or more idiomatically:
elif test -n "$2"
But once we fix that, many tests start failing. Because that commit
introduced another problem. The caller that passes 3 arguments looks
like this:
fetch_in_submodule "$sm_path" $depth "$sha1"
Note the unquoted $depth parameter. When it isn't set, the function will
see only 2 arguments, and the function has no idea if what it sees in $2
is an option to go on the command line, or a refspec to pass on stdin.
In the old code before that commit:
fetch_in_submodule () (
sanitize_submodule_env &&
cd "$1" &&
- case "$2" in
- '')
- git fetch ;;
- *)
- shift
- git fetch $(get_default_remote) "$@" ;;
- esac
we treated those the same, so it didn't matter. But in the new logic
(with my fix above):
+ if test $# -eq 3
+ then
+ echo "$3" | git fetch --stdin "$2"
+ elif test -n "$n"
+ then
+ git fetch "$2"
+ else
+ git fetch
+ fi
we use the number of parameters to distinguish the two. Let's insist
that the caller pass an empty string for positional parameter two if
they want to have a third parameter after it.
But that still leaves one problem. In the --stdin block, we
unconditionally pass "$2" to git-fetch, even if it's the empty string.
Rather than add another conditional, we can use :+ parameter expansion
to include it only if it's non-empty. In fact, we can do the same for
the elif, too, simplifying it further. Technically this is overkill,
since we know the --depth parameter will not have whitespace (and
indeed, most callers do not bother quoting it), but it doesn't hurt for
the function to be careful.
It's somewhat amazing that no tests were failing. I think what happened
is that:
- the 3-arg form rarely triggered; any call with a non-empty $depth
and a $sha1 would work, but one with an empty $depth would only have
2 arguments
- because of the wrong arguments to "test", the shell would complain
and exit non-zero. So we never ran the middle conditional at all
- that left every call running "git fetch" with no arguments. A
well-written test could have detected the distinction here, but in
practice omitting --depth just means fetching more commits, and
fetching everything (rather than a single sha1) works as long as the
commit in question is reachable

`init_grep_defaults()` fills a `static struct grep_opt grep_defaults`.
This struct is then used by `grep_init()` as a blueprint for other such
structs. Notably, `grep_init()` takes a `struct repo *` and assigns it
into the target struct.
As a result, it is unnecessary for us to take a `struct repo *` in
`init_grep_defaults()` as well. We assign it into the default struct and
never look at it again. And in light of how we return early if we have
already set up the default struct, it's not just unnecessary, but is
also a bit confusing: If we are called twice and with different repos,
is it a bug or a feature that we ignore the second repo?

The `onbranch` test cases touched by this patch do not actually try to
include any other config. Their purpose is to avoid regressing on two
bugs in the `include.onbranch:<name>.path` code that we fixed in the
past, bugs that are actually unrelated to any concrete branch name.
The first bug was fixed in 85fe0e800c (config: work around bug with
includeif:onbranch and early config, 2019-07-31). Essentially, when
reading early config, there would be a catch-22 trying to access the
refs, and therefore we simply cannot evaluate the condition at that
point. The test case ensures that we avoid emitting this bogus message:
BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository
The second test case concerns the non-Git scenario, where we simply do
not have a current branch to begin with (because we don't have a
repository in the first place), and the test case was introduced in
22932d9169 (config: stop checking whether the_repository is NULL,
2019-08-06) to ensure that we don't cause a segmentation fault should
the code still incorrectly try to look at any ref.
In short, neither of these two test cases will ever look at a current
branch name, even in case of regressions. Therefore, the actual branch
name does not matter at all. We can therefore easily avoid
racially-charged branch names here, and that's what this patch does.

Some test prereqs depend on other prereqs, so in a couple of cases we
have nested prereqs that look something like this:
test_lazy_prereq FOO '
test_have_prereq BAR &&
check-foo
'
This can be problematic, because lazy prereqs are evaluated in the
'$TRASH_DIRECTORY/prereq-test-dir' directory, which is the same for
every prereq, and which is automatically removed after the prereq has
been evaluated. So if the inner prereq (BAR above) is a lazy prereq
that hasn't been evaluated yet, then after its evaluation the
'prereq-test-dir' shared with the outer prereq will be removed.
Consequently, 'check-foo' will find itself in a non-existing
directory, and won't be able to create/access any files in its cwd,
which could result in an unfulfilled outer prereq.
Luckily, this doesn't affect any of our current nested prereqs, either
because the inner prereq is not a lazy prereq (e.g. MINGW, CYGWIN or
PERL), or because the outer prereq happens to be checked without
touching any paths in its cwd (GPGSM and RFC1991 in 'lib-gpg.sh').
So to prevent nested prereqs from interfering with each other let's
evaluate each prereq in its own dedicated directory by appending the
prereq's name to the directory name, e.g. 'prereq-test-dir-SYMLINKS'.
In the test we check not only that the prereq test dir is still there,
but also that the inner prereq can't mess with the outer prereq's
files.

When 'git repack' creates a pack with the same name as any existing
pack, it moves the existing one to 'old-pack-xxx.{pack,idx,...}' and
then renames the new one into place.
Eventually, it would be nice to have 'git repack' allow for writing a
multi-pack index at the critical time (after the new packs have been
written / moved into place, but before the old ones have been deleted).
Guessing that this option might be called '--write-midx', this makes the
following situation (where repacks are issued back-to-back without any
new objects) impossible:
$ git repack -adb
$ git repack -adb --write-midx
In the second repack, the existing packs are overwritten verbatim with
the same rename-to-old sequence. At that point, the current MIDX is
invalidated, since it refers to now-missing packs. So that code wants to
be run after the MIDX is re-written. But (prior to this patch) the new
MIDX can't be written until the new packs are moved into place. So, we
have a circular dependency.
This is all hypothetical, since no code currently exists to write a MIDX
safely during a 'git repack' (the 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX' does so
unsafely). Putting hypothetical aside, though: why do we need to rename
existing packs to be prefixed with 'old-' anyway?
This behavior dates all the way back to 2ad47d6 (git-repack: Be
careful when updating the same pack as an existing one., 2006-06-25).
2ad47d6 is mainly concerned about a case where a newly written pack
would have a different structure than its index. This used to be
possible when the pack name was a hash of the set of objects. Under this
naming scheme, two packs that store the same set of objects could differ
in delta selection, object positioning, or both. If this happened, then
any such packs would be unreadable in the instant between copying the
new pack and new index (i.e., either the index or pack will be stale
depending on the order that they were copied).
But since 1190a1a (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), this is no longer possible, since pack files are named not
after their logical contents (i.e., the set of objects), but by the
actual checksum of their contents. So, this old- behavior can safely go,
which allows us to avoid our circular dependency above.
In addition to avoiding the circular dependency, this patch also makes
'git repack' a lot simpler, since we don't have to deal with failures
encountered when renaming existing packs to be prefixed with 'old-'.
This patch is mostly limited to removing code paths that deal with the
'old' prefixing, with the exception of files that include the pack's
name in their own filename, like .idx, .bitmap, and related files. The
exception is that we want to continue to trust what pack-objects wrote.
That is, it is not the case that we pretend as if pack-objects didn't
write files identical to ones that already exist, but rather that we
respect what pack-objects wrote as the source of truth. That cuts two
ways:
- If pack-objects produced an identical pack to one that already
exists with a bitmap, but did not produce a bitmap, we remove the
bitmap that already exists. (This behavior is codified in t7700.14).
- If pack-objects produced an identical pack to one that already
exists, we trust the just-written version of the coresponding .idx,
.promisor, and other files over the ones that already exist. This
ensures that we use the most up-to-date versions of this files,
which is safe even in the face of format changes in, say, the .idx
file (which would not be reflected in the .idx file's name).

Ever since 'git pull' learned '--recurse-submodules' in a6d7eb2c7a
(pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only),
2017-06-23), we check if there are local submodule modifications by
checking the revision range 'curr_head --not rebase_fork_point'.
The goal of this check is to abort the pull if there are submodule
modifications in the local commits being rebased, since this scenario is
not supported.
However, the actual range of commits being rebased is not
'rebase_fork_point..curr_head', as the logic in
'get_rebase_newbase_and_upstream' reveals, it is 'upstream..curr_head'.
If the 'git merge-base --fork-point' invocation in
'get_rebase_fork_point' fails to find a fork point between the current
branch and the remote-tracking branch we are pulling from,
'rebase_fork_point' is null and since 4d36f88be7 (submodule: do not pass
null OID to setup_revisions, 2018-05-24), 'submodule_touches_in_range'
checks 'curr_head' and all its ancestors for submodule modifications.
Since it is highly likely that there are submodule modifications in this
range (which is in effect the whole history of the current branch), this
prevents 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules' from succeeding if no
fork point exists between the current branch and the remote-tracking
branch being pulled. This can happen, for example, when the current
branch was forked from a commit which was never recorded in the reflog
of the remote-tracking branch we are pulling, as the last two paragraphs
of the "Discussion on fork-point mode" section in git-merge-base(1)
explain.
Fix this bug by passing 'upstream' instead of 'rebase_fork_point' as the
'excl_oid' argument to 'submodule_touches_in_range'.

this commit was fixing (preventing a 'fatal: bad object' error when the

However, the commit message for 4d36f88be7 does not describe in which

The regression test is not really representative of a real-life
scenario: both the local repository and its upstream have only a single
commit, and the "no merge-base" scenario is simulated by recreating this
root commit in the local repository using 'git commit-tree' before
calling 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules'. The rebase succeeds
and results in the local branch being reset to the same root commit as
the upstream branch.
The fix in 4d36f88be7 modifies 'submodule.c::submodule_touches_in_range'
so that if 'excl_oid' is null, which is the case when the 'git merge-base
--fork-point' invocation in 'builtin/pull.c::get_rebase_fork_point'
errors (no fork-point), then instead of 'incl_oid --not excl_oid' being
passed to setup_revisions, only 'incl_oid' is passed, and
'submodule_touches_in_range' examines 'incl_oid' and all its ancestors
to verify that they do not touch the submodule.
In test 5572.63, the recreated lone root commit in the local repository is
thus the only commit being examined by 'submodule_touches_in_range', and
this commit *adds* the submodule. However, 'submodule_touches_in_range'
*succeeds* because 'combine-diff.c::diff_tree_combined' (see the
backtrace below) returns early since this commit is the root commit
and has no parents.
#0 diff_tree_combined at combine-diff.c:1494
#1 0x0000000100150cbe in diff_tree_combined_merge at combine-diff.c:1649
#2 0x00000001002c7147 in collect_changed_submodules at submodule.c:869

#4 0x00000001000ad58b in cmd_pull at builtin/pull.c:1040
In light of all this, add a note in t5572 documenting this peculiar
test.

The function 'run_rebase' is responsible for constructing the
command line to be passed to 'git rebase'. This includes both forwarding
pass-through options given to 'git pull' as well computing the <newbase>
and <upstream> arguments to 'git rebase'.
A following commit will need to access the <upstream> argument in
'cmd_pull' to fix a bug with 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules'.
In order to do so, refactor the code so that the <newbase> and
<upstream> commits are computed in a new, separate function,
'get_rebase_newbase_and_upstream'.
